Chapter 122 There is a surprise in Ningguo Mansion

In the modern world, at home.

Chen Ran came back this time to check the blind bidding process.

He had never done anything like this before, so he had to come back to learn from others.

Well, after the study and reading was finished, it was his turn to be sought after.

After the journey to the West was over, Liu Ruyan, feeling refreshed, went to the bathroom to take a shower, while Chen Ran, bored, leaned against the head of the bed and smoked.

Liu Ruyan's phone on the bedside table lit up. She reached out to pick it up and saw the caller ID read 'Meng Yuchen'.

"Yo, man with a Ferrari."

Swipe the screen to answer the call.

"Ruyan, where are you? I have an appointment with Mr. Jiang from Xinyi Investment."

"She's in the shower, how about you wait a moment?"

With just one sentence, Chen Ran told Meng Yuchen that there was a power outage.

The man answered the phone and was told that the woman was taking a shower. She must be a fox spirit, so who wouldn't understand what was going on?

After a moment of silence, an angry growl was heard from the other end: "Are you Chen Ran?!"

"Yes, it's me." Chen Ran pinched his nose and responded, "Do you want me to tell you?"

"You bastard!"

Meng Yuchen was furious. His goddess was eliminated. Tears could not stop falling.

"Just wait! I will never let you go!"

Holding the phone farther away, Chen Ran yawned, and waited until Meng Yuchen finished shouting before he slowly said, "By the way, the ultra-thin ones at home are all used up. If you have time, can you help buy a box and send it over? The important thing is to participate. By the way, I use the large size."

The breathing sound on the other end of the phone suddenly became as heavy as an ox.

"Toot~~~"

Looking at the hung up phone, Chen Ran shrugged and said, "It's rude."

"Who is it?" Liu Ruyan came out wiping her hair.

Chen Ran waved his hand. "He's probably a warm-hearted man who is looked down upon by dogs."

"Stop it." Liu Ruyan struggled. "We've all used them up. Do you want some plastic wrap?"

"No need to bother. I'm bald. Bah! I mean I'm stronger. Just bear with me."

After checking the information, Chen Ran returned to the world of Dream of Red Mansions and made final preparations for the bidding in a few days.

"Sir~~~"

A bailiff came to report, "There's someone outside claiming to be the palace guard, and he said he has an urgent matter to report."

"Let him in."

When Chen Ran learned the news, he immediately concluded that this incident must be aimed at Qin Keqing, and it must have been done by Jia Zhen!

Even though there is no evidence now, he still believes in his own judgment.

Then the evidence came.

Two lines of subtitles floated before his eyes.

'Jia Zhen's modification has been completed, and the reward is now issued.'

'Note: Evidence of Jia Zhen's collusion with the remnants of the loyal prince is being distributed. Please check it carefully.'

"It's really you!"

"All the fast-track personnel in the yamen, gather up and follow me." As he hurried out, Chen Ran also instructed, "Tell the prison boss to get the best torturer in the prison ready!"

He knew very well how to motivate the detectives and make them...ah, work positively and enthusiastically.

In front of the detectives, he directly took out several silver notes worth 100 taels and said, "Follow me to kill the bandits. The brave will be rewarded, and the cowardly will be expelled!"

At the temple, the bandits also noticed something was wrong.

"Brother, the meat tickets should have been released long ago, but there has been no movement."

"The guards and servants over there have all entered the palace."

The one being called the eldest brother looked gloomy and said, "We've been discovered."

"What should we do?" One of the brothers immediately said, "Let's go?"

It's not that he's afraid, but since others have noticed it, reinforcements might be on the way. If he delays any further, he might lose his own people.

"The employer promised three thousand taels." The boss was very frank. "After this deal, I don't have to open a shop for three years."

"Let's do it!" The brothers laughed grimly. "They are just guards. Kill them."

"Do it!"

Fierce conflicts broke out inside and outside the temple.

The two gangs screamed and hacked at each other, and the bloody scene frightened the pilgrims so much that they screamed and fled in all directions.

The servants of Ningguo Mansion had no idea that these were all hired by their own master, and they thought that they were going to harm the lady, so they went forward with gritted teeth, but were killed in an instant.

These people are good at bullying the weak and fearing the strong, but when it comes to a life-and-death fight, they are worse than pigs and dogs.

The bandits were numerous and powerful, and He Zhu and a few guards fought hard but were at a disadvantage.

Fortunately, the monks in the temple reacted quickly and rushed over with sticks to help.

The abbot was also a man of discerning eyes. If anything happened to these wives of officials in his temple, then his position as abbot would be over.

The number of monks is okay, but unfortunately their fighting spirit is only slightly stronger than that of the useless people in Ningguo Mansion.

Soon they were defeated and killed.

At the critical moment, a young man dancing with a sword rushed out from the pilgrims. He swung the sword in his hand and injured several bandits in succession, causing their momentum to stagnate.

"Where did this bastard come from? He's trying to ruin my good deeds." The bandit leader was furious and rushed towards the young man waving a goose-feather knife.

People kept coming to cause trouble, which made him furious.

There are no fancy techniques, just fierce chop with each blow as fast as the last, with great force and heft.

The young man with the sword was good at swordsmanship, but he had never encountered such a fearless and desperate desperado. He was in a panic and couldn't defend himself for a moment.

After blocking a few times, the sword in his hand was knocked away! Seeing another sword coming, the young man was horrified, "Am I going to die now?"

"Bang!!"

A knife came across his side and blocked it for him.

The man was dressed in an official robe, holding a goose-feather knife and said with a smile, "This bandit is from the military, and he will fight to the death. It's normal that you can't beat him."

The young man's face turned red and he felt even more ashamed.

The captain of the fast squad, with only the scabbard left in his hand, rushed in with a large number of detectives and surrounded the remaining bandits.

These bandits did not show any fear, but instead were filled with a determination to die.

"Interesting." Chen Ran, who had served as a Grand Commander and had been on the battlefield, saw it clearly. "It seems that they are all old soldiers in the army. Are they deserters? It doesn't matter."

He pointed at several wounded criminals and said, "Leave a few alive for interrogation, and kill the rest."

After saying that, he brandished the goose-feather knife in his hand and rushed straight towards the bandit leader.

The bandit leader was a little surprised. He didn't expect this civil servant to be so powerful.

After a few stab wounds, I realized that this person must have been in the military and used all the military tactics.

After a fierce fight, except for two who were injured and captured, only the leader was left among the dozen or so bandits.

Chen Ran's face darkened as he failed to capture the bandit leader.

While they were fighting with swords and pushing each other to catch their breath, he opened the panel and quickly clicked dozens of points on the martial arts.

In an instant, he felt his body getting hot.

It's not the kind of heat that makes you feel like you're in a hurry to dig a hole, but the kind that makes you feel truly full of strength.

He raised the goose-feather knife with many rice-grain-sized gaps on the blade and rushed forward again.

With just one strike of the knife, the bandit leader was forced back several steps.

"It's impossible that you can be so strong so suddenly."

Chen Ran was too lazy to pay attention and walked forward to chop fiercely. After seven or eight consecutive slashes, the bandit leader was finally exhausted and could not hold on any longer. He screamed and fell in a pool of blood.

He raised his head and looked at Qin Keqing who was watching nervously at the entrance of the hall not far away.

He smiled and waved his hand, "Turn your head away, kid, don't look."

The purpose of keeping him alive was not for interrogation, but to serve as a witness so that Jia Zhen could be bitten to death.

"I am this person." After sending Qin Keqing's carriage home, Chen Ran turned his horse's head and headed straight for the palace. "Revenge never waits overnight."

When the emperor saw Chen Ran, he was not surprised by the blood stains on his official robe.

The message had already been passed on to the secret guards.

What surprised him more was that Chen Ran was actually a man of both literary and martial arts.

"This is the best place in the capital, and yet such a wicked thing happened in broad daylight." The emperor was obviously angry. "I will definitely order the officials to investigate thoroughly and give you an explanation."

"Your Majesty." Chen Ran reached out and took out the account book of Jia Zhen and his son, who colluded with the border generals to smuggle contraband to the border. "I am not here to complain and seek justice. I am here to expose the grievances."

"Huh?" The emperor was obviously surprised. This was different from what he thought.

After looking at the account book, the emperor was so angry that his liver was shaking. "Lawless, damn it!"

The emperor's mood at this time was probably similar to that of Emperor Chongzhen when he learned that Shanxi merchants were smuggling for the Jiannu.

The tribes outside the Great Wall were growing stronger and stronger, and the years of harassment had already given him a headache.

Now there are still nobles who secretly commit such treasonous acts. This is simply intolerable to my uncles and aunts!
Suddenly, he frowned, "Was Jia Zhen also responsible for today's incident?"

"I don't know." He said he didn't know, but he continued, "Jia Zhen has approached me many times, wanting me to help him in the tax-farming bidding, but I have always refused."

The emperor was not a waste, on the contrary he was very smart and naturally he could understand.

"I never thought that this person would be so heartless." The emperor looked at Chen Ran. "It just so happens that you are here too. Please draft an edict."

Chen Ran's main job was still a Hanlin, and writing imperial edicts was one of his main jobs.

The imperial edict was written very quickly and its content was very plain.

The first is to arrest Jia Zhen and his son, and the second is to search Ningguo Mansion.

As for the border generals who colluded with Jia Zhen and his son, they cannot be touched now.

It was not just a search, but a direct seizure of the property, because the emperor was still alive.

If it's just smuggling contraband, the emperor can protect it.

During the turmoil many years ago, the Ningguo Mansion gave up the military power of the Beijing Camp, and the retired emperor wanted to give something in return.

Chen Ran didn't care about it, he knew there was a bigger melon in Ningguo Mansion!
The evidence of Jia Zhen's collusion with the remnants of the old loyal prince is the real deadly stuff.

The emperor can tolerate people using any means to get money.

When it comes to the throne, no matter who you are, you must be killed.

The emperor can protect the Jia family in other matters, but he cannot protect them from such a conspiracy against the throne, which is a heinous crime.

After all, the current emperor was personally selected by the retired emperor after he deposed the crown prince.

To mess with the emperor is to mess with the face of the emperor emeritus!

After receiving the imperial edict, Chen Ran did not set out immediately, but asked the emperor "What about the Daming Palace?"

The Jia family belongs to the retired emperor, so if you really want to touch the Jia family, you still need the retired emperor's approval.

The emperor said nothing, but just glanced at Xia Bingzhong.

Xia Bingzhong, who was tactful, immediately left the imperial study and went straight to the Daming Palace.

After a long time, Xia Bingzhong returned with Dai Quan, the general manager of Daming Palace.

"Your Majesty." Dai Quan stood up solemnly. "The Emperor said 'Yes.'"

Then he added, "Just discuss the crime, don't disturb the Rongguo Mansion."

The emperor sneered, "I know."

Looking at Chen Ran, "Go ahead."

After leaving the imperial study, Chen Ran glanced at Dai Quan who followed him and grinned, "Butler Dai, there is a surprise in Ningguo Mansion."
